If someone has this issue out of the box, ask for an RMA, unless you are confident enough to remove the grease yourself. It is possible these units are assembled with lubrication to act as a bearing between the potentiometer and the disc and eventually, like my unit did, the lubricant builds up in certain areas and causes the pins to push away from the disc. ![]() While I do believe throughout the ownership of one of these keyboards that liquids, dust, and other contaminants will cause the same issue to eventually arise, it didn't account for the problem mine had out of the box. Simply removing it with IPA solved my issue. Razer's family of mechanical keyboards under the BlackWidow banner are a popular choice for gamers due to the build quality, switches used and satisfaction while in-game. Instead of dust or oxidization, the potentiometer had been treated with what looked like lubricating grease, though a very thick veneer of it. Having owned many razer products (sometimes you get one that works on the first go) and other keyboards with similar mechanisms, I immediately tore down the keyboard to assess the issue. I had this issue out of the box on my new Black Widow Elite. I can confirm that this is in fact a mechanical issue, although I disagree that oxidization is the problem. ![]()
